ROA AE2

Cassie laughed and grinned.

Lyssa smiled and shook her head amused. "I'm not really like a Hufflepuff am I? I don't quite like them..."

Cassie smiled. "Well you can be loyal so I'd say slightly." She flashed Lyssa a smile and shook her head. "Poor Hufflepuffs, no-one except the people in their house seems to like them an awful much."

"I don't feel very loyal..." Lyssa muttered.

"You can be though," Cassie said softly. "Like at that odd time when we thought it was a smart idea to go to your house for the holidays and you stood up for me despite what your family said."

Lyssa shrugged slightly. "Would you please stop trying to make me feel better? I know that's what you're doing, so just stop."

"Don't see why I should,"Cassie said. "That's what freinds are for, to make each other feel better when they feel like crap."

"I don't want to feel better right now," Lyssa said.

Cassie sighed. "Fine feel misrable, it won't help anything."

"Just let me feel angry at myself for a while, then, I promise, you can get back to your cheering up."

Cassie muttered darkly.

"I'm sorry," Lyssa muttered.

Cassie sighed. "I dunno, I just don't like seeing you upset."

Lyssa frowned. "It'll help me in the long run. If I feel miserable now, then I won't later. Or at least, that's my theory."

Cassie shook her head with slight amusment but didn't say anything, she had doubts that that would actually work.

"Hush you," Lyssa said. "And don't say you didn't say anything. I know you were thinking something."

"Still didn't say anything," Cassie smiled. "Sure I thought something but didn't talk."

Lyssa rolled her eyes. "Whatever," she muttered. Then with a sigh she also muttered, "What the hell am I going to do now?"

"No idea," Cassie said with a frown. "I would say you could help us fight but most of us here wouldn't trust you..."

"Please don't remind me of that..." Lyssa muttered.

Cassie frowned. "Well I don't know."

"Do you trust me?"

"Yes,"

"Why?" she asked, and then without waiting for the answer asked, "Think there's a way to get the other people to trust me?"

"Do I need a reason?" Cassie asked then she frowned. "I don't know," She sighed running a hand through her hair.
